Did you happen to hear about the woman who purchased a painting by Renoir from a flea market for $7? Interested in the ornate frame, she considered disposing of the canvas, which has greatly appreciated in value since the initial purchase. The library is a wonderful place to find out about artists like Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Already know a little about Impressionism but want to learn about other artistic movements like Modernism or Cubism? Peruse our arts section located in the non-fiction 700s area and gain some insight into the world of fine art. Not able to find what you are looking for? We can always request items which are not in our current collection.
